American History 1988

``` Debt, economic decline, immigration; hippies, anti-government, freedom. At the end of the 1980s, a wave of change encompassed a country boy from the Rust Belt. As the gate for upward mobility was on the verge of closing, he struggled to move forward. College, Silicon Valley, entrepreneurship; HP, Apple, Microsoft. To become part of the 1%, or even 0.1%, he sacrificed a lot, but also gained a lot. ```

Chapter 246 He Threatened Me

"Wow," reminded by her, Dean suddenly remembered he had an insider right beside him.

"So, why has the master of the White House summoned so many from Silicon Valley this time?

This is really odd, I didn't expect that our Mr. President even knew there was a place called Silicon Valley."

Dean's sarcastic complaint made Miranda smile knowingly.

"He's inviting you, of course, to consult you on the things Silicon Valley excels at."

"How so?" Dean raised an eyebrow.

"The Information Highway Project, and the High-Performance Computing Act."

"OK, I get it now," Dean nodded in realization, if that's the case, it made sense.

This time Dean flew to the East Coast, not entirely for business matters, the invitation from Washington was also one of the reasons.

And he was not the only one invited, many well-known figures from Silicon Valley had received invitations, including Seattle's Gates.

Dean had heard about the Information Highway Project and the High-Performance Computing Act.
